MODCON Boiler
Limited Warranty
Ten year warranty to assure your complete satisfaction.
HTP warrants each MODCON boiler to be free from defects in
material and workmanship according to the following terms,
conditions, and time periods. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED THESE
WARRANTIES COMMENCE ON THE DATE OF INSTALLATION.
COVERAGE
A. During the first year after the date of installation, HTP warrants
that it will repair or replace, at its option, any defective or
malfunctioning component of the boiler that is found to have failed
due to manufacturer’s defect. Replacement parts will be warranted
for ninety (90) days.
B. During the first through fifth year after the date of installation,
HTP warrants that it will repair or replace, at its option, any
defective boiler heat exchanger that is found to have failed due
to manufacturer’s defect. No other component of the boiler will be
replaced during this period (with exception to the blower motor,
which will have a limited warranty of three [3] years).
C. During the sixth through tenth year after the date of installation,
HTP will repair or replace, at its option, any defective boiler heat
exchanger found to have failed due to leaking at a cost to the
purchaser equal to the following percentages of the manufacturer’s
list price in effect at the date of replacement:
Year of Claim 6 7 8 9 10
Percentage to be Paid
by Purchaser
25 % 50 % 75% 80 % 90 %
No other component of the boiler will be replaced during this period.
D. Should a defect or malfunction result in a leakage of water
within the above-stated warranty periods due to defective material
or workmanship, malfunction, or failure to comply with the above
warranty, such as defects or malfunctioning having been verified
by an authorized HTP representative, then HTP will replace the
defective or malfunctioning boiler with a replacement boiler of the
nearest comparable model available at the time of replacement.
The replacement boiler will be warranted for the unexpired portion
of the applicable warranty period of the original boiler.
E. If government regulations, industry certification, or similar
standards require the replacement boiler or part(s) to have features
not found in the defective boiler or part(s), you will be charged
the difference in price represented by those required features. If
you pay the price difference for those required features and/or
to upgrade the size and/or other features available on a new
replacement boiler or part(s), you will also receive a complete new
limited warranty for that replacement boiler or part(s).
F. In the event of a leakage of water of a replacement boiler due to
defective material or workmanship, malfunction, or failure to comply
with the above warranty, HTP reserves the right to refund to the
original purchaser the published wholesale price available at the
date of manufacture of the original boiler.
G. If at the time of a request for service the purchaser cannot
provide a copy of the original sales receipt or the warranty card
registration, the warranty period for the boiler shall then be deemed
to have commenced thirty (30) days after the date of manufacture
of the boiler and NOT the date of installation of the boiler.
H. This warranty extends only to boilers utilized in closed loop
heating applications that have been properly installed based upon
the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The use of the boiler as
a potable water-heating appliance shall void any coverage under
this warranty.
I. It is expressly agreed between HTP and the original consumer
purchaser that repair, replacement, or refund are the exclusive
remedies of the original consumer purchaser.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
To avoid the exclusion list in this warranty, the owner or installer
must:
1. Maintain the boiler in accordance with the maintenance procedure
listed in the manufacturer’s provided instructions. Preventive
maintenance can help avoid any unnecessary breakdown of the
boiler and keep it running at optimum efficiency.
2. Maintain all related heating components in good operating
condition.
3. Check all condensate lines to confirm that all condensate drains
properly from the boiler.
4. Use the boiler in a closed system with a properly sized and
installed thermal expansion tank.
5. Make provisions so if the boiler or any component part thereto
should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to
the area in which it is installed.
6. Operate the boiler at water pressures not exceeding the working
pressure shown on the rating plate.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
This limited warranty will not cover:
1. All labor charges incurred by any person in connection with the
examination or replacement of parts claimed by the purchaser to
be defective.
2. Any failed components of the heat system not manufactured by
HTP as part of the boiler.
3. Boilers repaired or altered without the prior written approval of
HTP.
4. Damages, malfunctions, or failures caused by improper
maintenance, misuse, abuse, accident, fire, flood, freeze, lightning,
acts of God and the like.
5. Any boiler not installed by a qualified heating installer/service
technician.
6. Damages, malfunctions, or failures resulting from improper
installation, failure to operate and maintain the boiler in accordance
with the manufacturer’s provided instructions, or failure to install the
boiler in accordance with applicable building codes/ordinances, or
good plumbing and electrical trade practices.
7. Any damage or failure of the boiler heat exchanger due to the
accumulation of solid materials and lime deposits.
8. Any damage or failure caused by operating the boiler in a
corrosive or contaminated atmosphere, including, but not limited
to, sheetrock particles, plasterboard particles, dirt, or dust being
introduced into the boiler or its components including, but not
limited to, the outside tubes of the heat exchanger.
9. Damages, malfunctions, or failures resulting from improper
installation, failure to operate the boiler at pressures not exceeding
the working pressure shown on the rating plate, or failure to maintain
and operate the boiler in accordance with the printed instructions
that accompany the unit.
10. Failure to operate the boiler in a closed system with a properly
sized expansion tank.
11. Any damage or failure resulting from improper water chemistry.
WATER CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENTS – Sodium less than
20mGL. Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Hardness less than 7
grains. Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm.
12. Any damages, malfunctions, or failures resulting from the use
of dielectric unions.
13. Components of the boiler that are not defective, but must be
replaced during the warranty period as a result of reasonable wear
and tear.
